SDAIA Supports Saudi Green Initiative through Transactions Digitalization
The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has made bold strides in the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) through its digital services and projects, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
SDAIA is currently supporting the initiative's goals by employing technical solutions to boost environmental sustainability, decrease waste, and support community efforts to protect the environment.
Through these efforts, the authority seeks to highlight the role of digital transformation in building a more prosperous and sustainable future.
Importantly, the unified national access portal (Nafath) has digitized more than 3.3 billion transactions.
Therefore, it significantly reduced paper usage and eliminated around 300,000 daily car trips to service centers.
Moreover, this remarkable achievement has lowered fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Meanwhile, the Deem Government Cloud has integrated 263 government data centers, saving more than 591 gigawatt-hours of energy.
Apart from this, the national application Tawakkalna App offers seamless services to more than 33 million users and processes up to 100 million digital transactions daily with high efficiency.
As a result, the need for paper-based movement has greatly declined and the sustainability of the Saudi digital infrastructure has seen unprecedented progress.
By funding 48 environmental projects and planting over 261,000 trees, the Ehsan National Platform for Charitable Work has supported the environmental efforts.
In collaboration with 41 charitable organizations, the platform has set a role model in the integration between technology and charitable efforts to protect the environment.
In the light of these efforts, SDAIA stressed its commitment to leading the national efforts, developing digital infrastructure and boosting digital economy.
